Are You Ready for AI? Is AI Ready for You?

AI, or artificial intelligence, is powering a massive shift in the roles that computers play in our personal and professional lives. Most technical organizations expect to gain or strengthen their competitive advantage through the use of AI. But are you in a position to fulfill that expectation, to transform your research, your products, or your business using AI?

Chris Hayhurst looks at the techniques that compose AI (deep learning, computer vision, robotics, and more), enabling you to identify opportunities to leverage it in your work. You will also learn how MATLAB® and Simulink® are giving engineers and scientists AI capabilities that were previously available only to highly-specialized software developers and data scientists.

Chris Hayhurst, MathWorks

Chris Hayhurst leads the MathWorks Consulting Services organization in Europe, managing a group of highly experienced engineers covering many industries and every aspect of MATLAB and Simulink product capability. At MathWorks, Chris has worked in many industries including automotive, aerospace, construction and agricultural equipment, electrical machines, and industrial equipment. Prior to joining MathWorks in 1997, Chris was involved in the design of flight control systems for helicopters, working with Simulink to model future helicopter dynamics and control strategies. He holds a degree in electrical engineering from Cambridge University. He is also active in the Institute of Engineering and Technology and in encouraging engineering and computing education in schools.

Fighter Aircraft Development with Model-Based Systems Engineering: A Report from the Trenches

Over the last decade, model-based systems engineering (MBSE) has been heralded as the future in systems development. It would not be inaccurate to state that there is a certain hype associated with modeling and models. Hence, it is relevant to critically assess the end user experience. What is the experience of the engineers in the trenches? Do contemporary tools and methods stand up to the test when used in development of complex multidisciplinary systems, such as a fighter aircraft?

This presentation elaborates on experiences from the use of MBSE within the development of Gripen E/F at SAAB Aeronautics. It starts by exemplifying some distinct factors that make fighter aircraft development challenging—both from a technical and from an organizational point of view. This is followed by an overview of MBSE domains and the SAAB Aeronautics team’s experience from modeling in those domains, with some special focus on the use of Simulink® in the development of multidisciplinary systems. The presentation is concluded with an evaluation of desired improvement in MBSE methods and tools.

Erik Herzog, Saab

Erik Herzog is a technical fellow at Saab Aeronautics working on the development of the Gripen E system and as a systems engineering mentor at SAAB. His professional interests include development, adaptation and introduction of systems engineering processes, and interaction and communication mechanisms in very large development organizations.

Kerstin Persson, Saab

Kerstin Persson is a systems engineer at Saab Aeronautics where she is the Simulink champion and responsible for developing methodologies when using models in software development processes. Her current focus is on using Simulink models for code generation in the Gripen E project.

In the context of obtaining insights from real-world data, this talk addresses how MATLAB® empowers engineers and scientists without significant signal processing and machine learning expertise to tackle challenges like:

Importing, visualizing, and preprocessing time-series and other data

Detecting and extracting features in time, frequency, and time-frequency domains from signals
